I am looking for an equity earn-in opportunity

Entrepreneur Type seeking suitable business partner.

I am a successful senior manager with 28 years’ experience and skills in marketing, organisational development, accounting, e-business and online systems

I have worked in businesses of all sizes from small family businesses to mid-size and large corporates and am currently undertaking consultancy work while looking for the next challenge.

My plan is to find a business that I can initially work in, with a view to earning/ buying equity down the track and subsequently owning outright.

  • Are you looking for a succession plan and subsequent exit for your business?
  • Does the business need another “you” to run without you?
  • Is your business difficult to value?
  • Looking to sell your business or know someone who is?
  • Your business is not ready for sale yet or a buyer has not been found yet?
    MBI (Management Buy-In) opportunity sought by experienced operator.

I am looking for an opportunity to manage and grow a business, leading to eventual ownership.
If you are a business owner who is:

  • thinking about retiring in the next 2-5 years
  • needing a succession plan…
  • wanting to sell the business within 6 months-3 years
  • wanting to reduce day-to-day responsibilities but still maintain some involvement
  • hoping to avoid an urgent sale due to changed personal circumstances

My background is in General Management, encompassing:

  • team creation & process automation
  • e-Business, e-commerce & online
  • product and service sales/marketing/support/distribution experience
  • creating new distribution channels for existing products
  • finding new products for existing customers
  • managing new and existing technology and computer systems
  • Experience with FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods – small supermarket type items) through to capital equipment sales and support (big technical equipment with long decision cycles with and without finance)

My business philosophy is based on:

  • open and transparent communication
  • connections with people, ideas & opportunities
  • business alignment with customers
  • profitable growth via a long-term focus
  • my belief in: ‘The harder you work, the luckier you get’

If you are interested in my approach and your business has the following attributes:

  • Located between Geelong, Melbourne, Bendigo and Ballarat
  • Delivers $500k+ EBITDA
  • Import/export, Victoria/national sales/marketing/distribution agency or possibly light manufacturing (if in an extremely niche market)
  • Needing my skill-set – a business that I can work in now and deliver added value promptly and efficiently
  • Owners wanting to ensure that their business continues to grow and prosper
  • Wanting to sign a non-disclosure agreement before anything is discussed

If my offer interests you, or you could personally benefit from an informal discussion, then let’s talk at your earliest convenience.

Yours sincerely,

Ewan Walsh
